Make your WordPress header image clickable and guarantee it will load
Blogged by braddock — Fri 6 Jun 2008 11:40 am
I was having loads of problems with the theme on a new blog. The header image only loaded about 50% of the time. It might load on the main page, but when you went to another page or read a post the header would disappear.
I searched and found quite a few tips for getting my header to load. It seems the header is the last thing to load on any page, so making the page load faster was the main recommendation. The usual answer was to make sure my HTML validated. I did that but the header still loaded sporadically. read the rest »

Boom!Atomic attacked & disabled by AT&T lineman
Blogged by braddock — Thu 29 May 2008 12:15 pm
Six days ago Boom!Atomic was brutally attacked by an AT&T lineman. The manic and potentially rabid repairman cut the wrong wire and plunged Boom!Atomic’s home base into communications darkness.
Why we had to endure six days with no Internet and land line telephone service before AT&T remedied the situation is beyond comprehension. Once we have reinitialized all of Boom!Atomic’s core systems the flow of quality posts should return to normal. More information on this traumatic event will follow.

I’ve been looking for a way to add links to my WordPress blog posts, including excerpts, to a separate standard HTML web site. The way the static web site is set up I can’t use PHP to get the job done.
The problem has been knocking around in my head for a month or so. I stumbled on an answer today. My old friend FeedBurner solved it for me…a long time ago. read the rest »

Google Sites makes setting up a multiple author or group Web Site dead easy
Blogged by braddock — Thu 22 May 2008 6:19 pm
As if I needed a new toy to play with.
Google has opened up Google Sites to anyone and everyone.
Google Sites is an easy to setup up, simple to customize, and most importantly free way to get a site on the web quickly. You can make your site collaborative by submitting the email addresses of those you want to give editor permissions, or you can set the site to private for a secretive club or business planning.
Strangely out of character for Google I can’t find one content based ad on the site I set up for Boom!Atomic. We’ll see if that lasts. read the rest »
